Some audiophools go nuts over the old caps but they are missing out on the super low distortion carbon resistors!

I have a box of these priceless resistors (Allen-Bradley's no less!) that were production floor left-overs from Boonton Radio Corp; I recall injecting pure sine waves into a variety of these resistors in a variety of configurations and had output harmonic distortion levels of greater than -90dB! That's pretty hard to beat!
